I believe he said in one of his recent videos, or just in a video he was in, that he downsizes his shoes a few sizes less than he used to a few years ago. I can't remember the reason why he said he does it.

There may be some brands that have similar sizing, most likely by chance, but overall brands can have very different sizing to their shoes. Even different shoes from the same brand tend to have different sizing.

For me the fit of climbing shoes has always been the same based on the shoes. I haven't changed my shoe size since I started climbing a few years ago, even when I try on shoes I already have, like the Evolv Shaman 2, I still find that the best fit is the same size I got when I first bought them a few years ago.

You can walk in climbing shoes, it is just not recommended. Climbing shoes are not meant for walking, they are meant for climbing. Walking in them can just wear the shoes out quicker. Not to mention that they are also pretty painful to just walk in.

A lot of climbers like to walk in new climbing shoes to help stretch them out and break them in, so that could be an exception to the above. After those shoes have stretched, though, it would just be wearing them out quicker.
